Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the April Player of the Month award.

His nomination follows a phenomenal month in which he notched one goal and three assists to help La Dea maintain their push for a UEFA Champions League spot.

As reported by All Nigeria Soccer, only five games remain in the league this season, with the club sixth in the table, two points behind Roma, who occupy the final Champions League spot.

The former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has been effusive in his praise for Lookman, describing him as "unstoppable" on his best days.

Oliseh's admiration is well-deserved, given Lookman's remarkable form this season. The Nigerian forward has featured in 27 Serie A games, scoring nine goals and providing six assists.

"Ademola Lookman is simply unstoppable on a good day. Love watching this man play!" Oliseh posted on his X handle.

Lookman's recent exploits have caught the attention of football enthusiasts worldwide. His four-goal involvements in April are the joint-highest he has recorded in a single month in the Italian top-flight this season.

As Atalanta continues its quest for a top-four finish, Lookman's contributions will be crucial. With just four matches remaining, the club is optimistic about its prospects, buoyed by recent successes, including a 2-0 victory over Empoli.
